Marshfield, Wis.,, Destroyed by Fire.


On Monday afternoon, on the 9th inst,
fire broke cut in tho woodward OF Upham's
Manufacturing company and spread with
lightning like rapidity, in spite OF desper.
ate efforts on tho part OF tho citizens. At
8 O'Clock the entire business part of
the town was lost and the flames
continued to tayo. Nothing could
be done to save them, and almost
beside themselves tho people stood
around and Saw the results OF years OF
hard labor 60 down. Little could DO
saved. Late in the evening the fierce ele-
ment was stopped when nothing more
could DO destroyed. The entire business
portion OF the town was burned.
The losses cannot be estimated
closely, but will exceed, upon the
best OF calculation. 100000, and are
but partly insured. But one store was
saved. About fifteen hundred people were
without shelter. Upham,s planning mill
and several other mills and all the depot
buildings OF the Wisconsin Central have
burned down.
Marshfield, Wood county, Wis.,, is on
the main limo OF the Wisconsin Central

tion is 1000. The principal business in.
terests OF the place were it's saw mills,

Even the desperation born of terror
